Is this to juke the stats to make a video seem more popular than it is? If you divide that out it's about $0.05 per 20 views. I think you could ask somebody on Mechanical Turk to open 20 browser tabs and let them sit for 2 minutes with bids of about a nickel.
Youtube promotes trending videos, so if you get a lot of views very quickly, particularly among a common demographic, then the video will be more heavily promoted, and is more likely to go viral.
Similarly, videos with lots of view tend to appear higher in search results.
I imagine that people at youtube are very aware of this, and put an effort into distinguishing ``real'' view (consistent demographic/trusted referer) and ``fake'' (spammy/ black hat SEO) views.
